It was discovered in 1835 by Christian Gottfriend Ehrenberg, where he originally named it
"Vibrio subtilis". B. subtilis is a bacteria that forms an endospore that can withstand extreme temperatures and dry environments. Because it is resistant to extreme temperatures, the bacteria can stand high cooking temperatures. B. subtilis is present everywhere: the air, soil, and in plant compost. The bacteria spends most of its time in the inactive spore form, however when it is active it produces many enzymes. B. subtilis can be found in the human body in mostly the skin or in the intestinal tract. Along with the enzymes the bacteria makes, it also produces a toxin called subtilisin. Subtilisin can cause allergic reactions if there is exposure to high concentrations of it over and over again. Subtilisin is also found in laundry detergent, where it can cause allergic reactions after using the detergent.[1] The bacteria is also responsible for causing food poisoning in people with relatively low immune systems. B. subtilis can also be responsible for causing infections that include: a case of endocarditis in a drug abuse patient; fatal pneumonia and bacteremia in three leukemic patients; septicemia in a patient with breast cancer; and infection of a necrotic axillary tumor in another breast cancer patient.[2] B. subtilis was once used as a broad spectrum antibiotic.

"Studies indicated that YwlE shows similar activity towards the substrate p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP), but a lower activity on the protein substrate of YwqE. A recent genetic and biochemical study suggested that YwlE plays roles in B. subtilis stress resistance.Unlike Arg18 in BPTP, Arg13 may not be directly involved in initial phosphate binding in YwlE. However, the sequence conservation and its possible stabilization by Asp115 suggest its importance in forming a phosphate-binding pocket." http://jb.asm.org/content/188/4/1509.full Complex of proteins?: YwlE consists of a twisted central four-stranded parallel β-sheetwith seven α-helices packing on both sides.

Enzyme Assay information (spectrophotometric, coupled assay ?, reagents): "Activity assays for tyrosine phosphatases are based on the hydrolysis of a arylphosphate moiety from a synthetic substrate yielding a spectroscopically active product. Many different substrates can be used for these assays with p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP), fluorescein diphosphate (FDP), and 6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbellyferyl phosphate (DiFMUP) being the most efficient and versatile."

Expression Information (has it been expressed in bacterial cells): The gene ywlE has been expressed in bacterial cells during the dephosphorylation process of the substrate pNPP. The target, however, isn't expressed at high levels and is only expressed at certain times. Also, the target ywlE becomes inhibited with high concentrations of the substrate. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1169535/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1169535/
